Distributed Income
Distributed Income is the portion of a company's or trust's earnings that is paid out to shareholders or unit holders, such as dividends.
Distributed Income refers to profits or cash flows that a company, REIT, or InvIT shares with its investors instead of retaining them for reinvestment.
Key points:
Common in REITs and InvITs, which are required to distribute a large portion of their income
Can be in the form of dividends, interest, or capital repayment
Higher distributed income can mean more regular cash flow for investors
Example:
If a REIT earns ₹100 crore in rental income and distributes ₹90 crore to unit holders, that ₹90 crore is the distributed income for that period.
